A Place In The Sun presenter surprised over buyer's 15 grandchildren

A Place In The Sun presenter Jasmine Harman was left shocked over a buyer's large family. The Channel 4 programme aims to find buyers their dream holiday home in the sun.

Retirees Pauline and Peter were looking for a holiday home in Lanzarote having visited the island for over 15 years. The couple had even met each other out there.

The Echo reports the pair wanted to buy a holiday home in their favourite resort, Playa Blanca. Pauline and Peter had the help of presenter Jasmine Harman as they searched for properties.

With a budget of £350,000, Jasmine was thrilled to help the couple. They requested a scenic view of the island but admitted space was their biggest concern as it may be a deal breaker if there wasn't enough room.

Pauline said they needed a minimum of three bedrooms, an outdoor pool and a large lounging area if there were going to place an offer. Jasmine questioned their specific needs before the couple explained their family is a lot larger than most.

Peter said he and his wife share three children and 15 grandchildren together, leaving the property expert visibly shocked. She said: "Wow that's a pretty big family, isn't it." Viewers were also taken aback by the confession as they couldn't believe what they just heard.

One viewer said: "With 15 grandkids no wonder they spend seven months away! So would I!" Another added: "15 grandkids they’d be better off buying a crèche."

A third viewer said: "They’ve got too many grandkids to consider I think, but what do I know." The couple eventually found their dream home as they put in a "cheeky" offer of £315,000 on a property, almost £50,000 below the asking price. Though the owner initially rejected the bid, they agreed on a spacious villa for £349,000.
